Guide created for year 11 GCSE and A level students to help them plan and produce their final piece. I made this as I noticed a lot of my GCSE group were struggling with what to write to support their final piece. This guide not only advises students about annotation but also covers what the final piece should entail, how to introduce it, what supporting materials should be mentioned and the evaluation itself, which covers the final piece and wraps up the portfolio. Can be adjusted for any year group and would work equally as well with art.
